As for PERL and performance. Please wait for another day or two and I'll announce version 0.9 of my xmrproc deamon. (XMail Remote Procedure). This server holds a PERL interpreter in memory, listening for calls over the network carries them out and returns exitcodes for the calling client (xmprocc, executed by XMail).
Since xmrprocd caches all procedures (perl modules) as bytecode, filter/mproc jobs in PERL will now be pretty much equal to a compiled ones in C etc. in terms of performance, but with the big win in my view is the an ocean of code ready to snap in (CPAN). New procedures works kindof like plug-ins that you simply drop inside a procroot with a unified configuration file. Loadsa cool stuff like a common procedure API, logging, detailed debugging mode + it'll run as a Win32 service right out of the box ! I was about to release it yesterday, but got the urge to add a SpamAssassin procedure to raise some interest around here. It'll besides running on any platform (yup, Win32 aswell), outperform anything you've probably seen in the terms of real-time automated anti-spam. Still finetuning the thing, but weekend's coming right up, the Hellacopters on stage local tonight and its time to get drunk again. finally the best of all, where PERL is around, xmrprocd/c will run, even on MacOS ;) stay tuned for the announce, cheers, Thomas. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Veeresh Khanorkar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: saltstorm.xmail Sent: Friday, September 20, 2002 5:03 PM Subject: [xmail] Re: Need Help for writing command (external) > > > > > platform as compared to GNU.Linux > > > >you can easily download it and install. i see perl like the better script > >languange that enable script sharing between different architecture. and > >share is usually good. > > > > But can it really provide better performance it terms, since individual > call for the script will demand individual memory, wherease the same if > written in library (dll,so) can have significant improvement.
